INTERIM Dumbarton gaffer Jack Ross has revealed he would love to land the job on a permanent basis.

The 36-year-old former Falkirk and St Mirren star led his side to a 4-1 Scottish Cup win over East Stirling at the weekend.

And after the departure of Alan Adamson, Ross will again be in charge today as his Sons chase their first league win of the season.

Multi-talented Ross, who works with the PFA and writes children’s books, said : “I love the job, although it’s for other people to judge me.

“I’ve always had ambitions to try management and this gives me a taste but I don’t know what will happen.

“I’ve done a lot of the training this year and the players have been terrific. They respond to everything asked of them even though it’s very difficult in Division One, given their commitments outside the game.”

Cowdenbeath No.2 Lee Makel admits he wouldn’t be surprised if the Sons appointed Ross. He added: “Jack has the respect of the players and that’s what is needed if they are to get out of their predicament.”
